That's cracking mate, nice one!

Mick Karn did play some stuff fro Kate Bush yes. Not sure about Gilmour playing fretless tho. My personal fave bass player of Kates is John Giblin, his fretless work is just sublime, a joy to (try and) play. As for kate being a bass player, I hope not

Im not a Fender man by any stretch of whatever you want to stretch, but that is rather lovely. **goes off to stretch something***

Chronicles of the Black Sword one of my most favourite albums ever

Guitarists eh? sheesh Hiow familiar does the following sound to you guys? I was in a band....well the beginnings of one years back where the guitarist had written a tune. Fairly simple but nice in its own right. "Can you put some bass to it?" So I write a line that fits behind the guitar line nicely IMHO and has a few little incidentals to sauce up his melody line. "Ooh that sounds good" and he starts playing my line. Grrr. "Ok" thinks I and writes another line to go behind what was my bassline but is now his guitar line. And feck me with a shovel, he does it again. Im no longer in that band

At the end of the day, theres so much to choose from. Quite prolific little space trolls, werent/arent they? Tho ASAM not one of my faves, its still in my collection. "....fell onto the carpet, crawled across the floor, up on my shelf, inside my piggy bank, and............stole my stash." "STOLE MY STASH!!!!"

Hi, well done for sticking around. This place will delight you and frustrate you in equal and sometimes unequal measure. It does me anyhow Kind of like my wife really. Tho why would my wife be delighting you? I think you me an explanation good sir. And possibly child maintenance. I am undone

Tho Ive never seen it in the flesh, I think the most beautiful bass i have ever seen is Big Red X's stunning Sei offset Flamboyant. If you are ever in the need of another left nadger Big red X, i gladly would trade mine for it

Honestly, youre so vain......Ill bet you think etc

[quote name='marcus bell' timestamp='1365536658' post='2040925'] absolutely love tony levins stuff, what a player... so yeah the bass is now a lined fretless and running through a few paul young and peter gabriel numbers cracking stuff! [/quote] Jeez, that was quick!

I used to use a Samson Concert 4, my band had a coupleof songs in low A and I never had a problem. Ive still got it, and would love to be able to use it, but i dont think I can, is that right? What would happen if I did?

While there is a thread going for little things that we cant figure out, can someone please explain the purpose of a ramp, coz I cant get my head round them? Also, Why Does it Hurt When I Pee?

Hey Dave Nice to see you on here bud, sorry to hear about your band
